Spurs vs Toronto FC

[dere911]

Dont you feel a little ill that day and need to call in sick?!

Already used my sick days for the world cup games

Yeah but Bradley has been remarkably shit for the past few months. Going back to MLS hasnt been good for him or the US.

And Toronto, albeit a good MLS team, are not close to being as good as a PL side. No clubs are. MLS as a whole is league 1/championship at best. Its a league where a 50% donovan lights up. Telling.

Having seen a lot of Championship football, I believe MLS is firmly Championship level. Better than League 1. There's a lot of quality in the league in recent years, albeit of the older kind. Forever improving.

Opposition defences haven't worked out how to play against Defoe yet, so that won't last.

Don't you just push up and he puts himself offside?

 

[Norwegian Spurs fan]

Don't you just push up and he puts himself offside?

Rumor has it he was born in an offside position

 

[spud]

Don't you just push up and he puts himself offside?

That's part of it. Don't let him run off the defender's left shoulder is the other. Shit left foot, no movement in the box. He's only dangerous if you give him a clear shot on his right foot up to about twenty yards out.

Rocket science it ain't.

(Braces self for another 'doh' rating from Defoe-loving coyspurs18.)

For those of you like me now living in Toronto, the game will be live on TSN

Tickets booked for the 23rd. Looking forward to seeing Spurs play under Poch and see Defoe play against us. Expecting a massacre but should still be interesting to get a glimpse of the playing style Poch has in mind for us.

Expect a detailed match report since you'll be taking it in up close and personal.

Any Spurs going to the match need to do their best to make Defoe cry, get him right in the feels... The He's a Yiddo chant is a good place to start.

Or just shout offside every time he gets the ball

 

[ripley]

What's the pre-game schedule on Wednesday? Is there an open practice for the unwashed masses? Any other activities available to the public (like a wine & cheese with the team 15 minutes before kickoff)?

 

[Flashspur]

you just know Defoe is going to score...don't you

 

[HobokenSpur]

Opposition defences haven't worked out how to play against Defoe yet, so that won't last. On the other hand, yeah, you're right. They'll be MLS champions this year and Defoe will succeed Ronaldo as world player of the year. Obvious, isn't it?

Just whisper in his ear 'shoooooooot'. Done.

Pretty excited for this one after last match. Even if our defense was rotten, at least we were fun to watch.

I'm really hoping to see a starting midfield/attack of this:

------ Capoue ------- Holtby -------
Lamela ------ Erisken ---- Ceballos
-------------- Soldado --------------

Who gives a shit about the defenders at this point?

I would add that I want Walker to start, as he didn't get a run out in the first game.

Defoe on the game:

"Obviously you could say it's a game that we don't need," the English star said. "But at the end of the day, what can you do as players? We just get on with it. It's important to, I suppose, stay professional. You've got to do your job. And if we've got to play, we've got to play. It's not going to be as serious, I can't imagine the tempo's going to be too high. But we'll still try to win the game. You still want to have that winning mentality, that every game you play, you try and win."

Oh, those days have gone, jermaine.

 

[ClintEastwould]

Lol he really is on holidays. Can't even be arsed to get up for a game against his old club

 

[Sweech]

Going to the game. Can't wait, it will be my first time seeing Spurs live. Hopefully I can book a trip to see them in London soon.

 

[HowittzerCOYS]

Really looking forward to this match. Hoping for Lamela to get more game time and another look at Ceballos.

Going to be saying that anyway, might have to come up with something different.

Would look good, if only the 8 had traveled
